Hi all,
(please Cc)
I have written a Gnome applet for turning off and on the various hardware items using the rfkill interface. It was working very well on up to 2.6.30. With 2.6.31-rc that infrastructure has been changed, and now no access mode I know of still works.
- formerly writing 0 or 1 to /sys/class/rfkill/rfkillN/state worked, now it returns access denied.
- access via Hal/Dbus (what I am doing) stopped working, too
In the Documentation I only see reference to /dev/rfkill, which isn't a usefull access method because for the applet to work for every user (based on the permissions of hal) we need hal/dbus access.
Is this intended behaviour? Is there any other documentation but the very short rfkill.txt in the kernel's Documentation?
Thanks a lot and all the best
Norbert
